The question doesn't have a lot of detail -- model of RV, which slide out if more than one, what kind of cable?

Generally, if it is a power cable, disconnect from shore power and disconnect both the cabin battery(ies) and the engine battery(ies). Find the end of the cable (fuse panel, switch) and disconnect unless there is a junction or connector that is easier to access. Carefully unmount any cable ties or holds/clamps to free the cable. Reroute to your preferred location, clamp in place. Things to consider: is rerouting necessary? Will there be enough slack in the cable to operate when the slide out is extended, or doesn't k*1*n*k, pinch or droop below the chassis when slide out is retracted. Any sharp corners or wear points it will rub against? If replacing with a new cable, is the cable suitable for exterior environments if it is outside/underneath -- and if it is power, is it sufficient gauge for the power running through it?

You can probably see why it's hard to answer your question -- many variables and unknowns. Can't believe k*1*n*k is a naughty word on this forum.

Where is slide out control box for slides located on a 2012 Salem hemisphere 312qbud camper trailer

if slide out is not a cable or lippert gear pac or hydrolic then it must be a shwintech and if the control board isn't around the slide or in any compartments then it's behind the fuse and breaker panel. pull box out and look in the hole it came out of and it should be either hanging on side of wall or laying on floor

Kitchen slide will only go out 7 inches. it stops. it retracts ok but only goes out 7 inches and stops. are the cables suspose to be slack

I can only assume this is an RV you are talking about. No there should not be slack. I would start by finding the manual slide out mechanism. It will be a hand crank type or unit. Manually slide the kitchen unit out and then try to slide it back in with the button. That will either bring it all the way back in or you can see that the motor is bad or the limits are off.

How to adjust 2010 montana high country slideout

Is this the system with the cables on the side? If so, they should, via a system of pulleys, be routed to the top of the slide on the inside of the coach. There you will see a few adjustment points. Before you do that, have you lubed the slide seals? If not, use 100% silicone spray and lube the seals good. The seals can get tacky and grab the slide making it jump when in motion. You will also want to mark the adjustment bolt before making any adjustments just incase you need to go back to the original setting.

How can i fix a speedometer cable on a 1977 dodge brouham

Replace it. The cable housing will run from the dash cluster to the side of the transmission. A lot of times you can disconnect it at either location and pull the old cable out and slide the new one in. I would apply some graphite to the new cable as you slide it in to lubricate it.

2011 fourwinds travel trailer wiring

The slides and power awning use inline circuit breakers due to the higher amp draw. These circuit breakers are typically located near the front of the unit. Sometimes in the storage compartment, on the inside of the tongue, behind the front cross member... Follow the positive battery cable back until you fond a series of rectangle boxes (small with a wire connected to each end). Some of these circuit breakers are automatic reset, others have a small black button on the side that will need to be pushed back in. You may also need to ensure that all of the terminal nuts are tight.
